1. England, I considered Spain but as far as I know Spain is still Catholic and the statement was one of the official currencies.
2. can not be england as they have the Pound Sterling and NOT the euro, so the answer must be Spain
3. Clearly Spain (France, Italy, Germany and Greece do not have monarchs - and England does not have the Euro)
4. Spain
5. Greece is my 1st guess but spain can be possible though
